It was a nice motel before, but in the years since I’ve stayed there it’s changed tremendously. It’s roach infested and I think prostitution is going on there from the looks of the people coming and going. I will never stay there again

Room is up to date, recently remodeled and done well. Spacious room, ample closet space (bar to hang clothes and not a dresser drawer thankfully!) bed is soft, tv w/HBO and premium cable channels.. The best part is the property is well-maintained and CLEAN! The surrounding area isn’t the quietest- certain people might not feel “safe” - but honestly, if you just mind your own business and don’t look for trouble- nobody is going to bother you- this is El Monte, it’s safe to book your room and sleep! Owner is chill and they treat the stray animals with kindness- they are good people. Pest-free!!

Staff was friendly. It’s the only nice thing I can say both faucets in the shower stayed on. There was poor work done in all across the bathroom. Train passed in the middle of the night.(not much you can do about that) parking wasn’t too bad but didn’t feel safe.

I've never been to a place that requires a cash deposit for a room. It seems like the reviews are stacked with fake reviews as the score of this facility does not match the experience. There is now way this property is a 7 out of 10.

I’ve unfortunately had to stay a few times, but they tell me a different deposit everytime. Sometimes it’s $20, sometimes it’s $40. Woman usually takes $20 and the man requires $40. Last time i spoke to the woman she was on facetime showing someone all of my information, i felt really uncomfortable. She noticed me looking, and she put the phone down. This time, that same window i saw her do that now is blocked off with a bunch of papers so you can’t see in. Location is kind of poor as far as who else is around. We had no soap or towels in our room, gentleman greeting us was rude. Toilet had leftovers from the previous person who stayed there, along with trash we found bedside in the drawers from previous guests as well. I honestly wouldn’t recommend this motel due to the several favors i’ve listed. Each time i give it a chance, it lets me down again. Bathrooms are moldy and old, AC makes a funky smell.

This place is a dump! Room 204 had small blood stains on the bed cover and hair in the mini fridge! I took pictures and asked for a different room. Room 205 had a newer bed cover but still hair in the mini fridge, mildew around the tub and stains in the bathtub. There was a drug addict shouting in the parking lot. A creepy guy kept walking by my room and would stare at me so I had to shut the curtain. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy! I did not feel safe, and I felt grossed out my entire stay. Keep shopping around for a better hotel!!!
